Login not working after bridge w. phpBB

[Draxxx007]

Hi!
Sorry I am new, I'm having some problems below,
I'd really appreciate any help with this, as I'm really stuck..

URL: http://www.zionliberationfront.com/RelaySystem
Version of phpBB: 2.0.14
Version of PHP: 4.3.11
Which database server and version: MySQL v4.0.24
Did someone install this for you/who: I did, via Fantasico
Have you searched for your problem: yes
If so, what terms did you try: bridge, coppermine login errors
State the nature of your problem: I installed phpBB and coppermine, and bridged them using the below script ammendments, my problem is that when I hit login on coppermine, I get re-routed to the phpbb login, and then when I try to login the script returns to the phpBB index, when I jump across to the gallery, my user is not logged in. I therefore cannot access admin on the coppermine gallery.
Do you have a test account for us: yes, U:test P:test

It may be a cookie thing, as I wasn't 100% sure on the cookie details in phpbb.inc.php.
From phpbb config;
cookie domain = zlf.com
cookie name = ZLF_Forum
cookie path = /phpBB2/

Since I was unable to login to the coppermine gallery, I have been unable to syncronize groups between phpBB and coppermine.

Thanks in Advance! Smile

Well,

Code Select Expand

$cpg_path='/RelaySystem';

isn't the location of your Coppermine gallery.

Code Select Expand

$cpg_path='/RSI_Captures';

is where Coppermine is.

Your test user doesn't work.

You have specified an incorrect or inactive username, or an invalid password.

Thanks kegobeer!!!

Made the change as you suggested, and fixed the test login.

The change now sends me back to the gallery after login, which is sweet, but the login on the phpBB doesn't carry over to the coppermine gallery.. Any suggestions?

Thanks Mate!

Link before logging into forum:

http://www.zionliberationfront.com/RelaySystem/

Link after logging into forum:

http://zionliberationfront.com/RelaySystem/index.php?sid=b38aee54f7cd268f3dc93aaa1112710b

Notice the missing www.?  That means a different cookie is set.  Without knowing the phpbb code, I'd look in the login.php file and see why there's no www.

Thanks again kegobeer..  Does this info help?

This is from phpBB;
cookie domain = zlf.com
cookie name = ZLF_Forum
cookie path = /phpBB2/


phpbb.inc.php

Code Select Expand

// The prefix for the phpBB cookies
define('PHPBB_COOKIE_PREFIX', 'ZLF_Forum'); // The prefix used for board cookies

All I can think of is that cookie domain should = zionliberationfront.com...
But above when in states in the phpbb.inc.php what should the cookie prefix be?

Thanks kegobeer! U rock!
Cheers,

You also are having problems with the cookie data.  Why is the cookie domain zlf.com?  If I log into your forum, then remove all of the text after the main url (http://zionliberationfront.com/RelaySystem/), I'm not logged in anymore.

This is a problem with your configuration of phpBB and it's cookies.  I never have a cookie set on my machine when I'm on your forum.

[kegobeer]

Search our forum and you may find some phpBB info - otherwise you should check out phpBB's forums for help with your phpBB cookie settings.

[off topic]Tsk, tsk, tsk.  Altering the USAF symbol without consent....  [/off topic]

LOL.. 
Thanks for all of your help kegobeer.. Your a true coppermine/php  legend! 
I'll check with phpBB cookie stuff and will see if I turn anything up..

Cheers Mate!

Hi kegobeer,

Ok, I have fixed the cookie issue (user now remains logged in if session info is removed). I can't find why the www. is missing from the URL.. But thats not really a prob at the moment..
I still can't seem to link the logins. If you login to the forum, and hit the 'Gallery' button to jump to coppermine, the user is not logged in..

Any ideas on that??

Thanks Boss!!

That is the problem.  There are two cookies being set.  One for www.zionliberationfront.com and one for zionliberationfront.com.  You need to figure out why phpBB sends you to zionliberationfront.com instead of www.zionliberationfront.com when you log in.  Maybe a configuration option somewhere in phpBB?

kegobeer,
i could kiss your lovely cranium! You were right, it was a config issue on phpbb, which I have fixed.
I cleared the cookies and tried again to login, but it still doesn't recognise me in coppermine.
Mate, sorry to be so persistent.. But you & the help you have provided are invaluable!
Thx

phpbb 2.016 came out so you should upgrade it.

[kegobeer]

There are still two cookies being set, one at www.zion~ont.com (Coppermine) and one at zion~ont.com (phpBB).  (Too long to type, abbreviated with ~)

Plus, your phpBB cookie domain is .zionliberationfront.com.  Remove the leading dot.

Please search for phpbb cookie - use advanced search, show results as messages, sort by most recent.

Cookie path should be /

Nibbler!!
